Thanks man, they’re actually just harbor freight floor pads - the jigsaw puzzle lookin foam things, cut to fit. And in true tractor fashion, they’re held on with zip ties :) lasted about 5 years so far so and still goin :)

@@dailejc Thanks friend !!

Yep, 6 footer and it handles it just fine - only problem I’ve had with the mower is if I let the grass get too high (above 6-8 inches) it can’t eject it fast enough and the tractor will spin the belts. More my problem than the mowers for letting it get too tall. Welded some extra height on the wheels to handle that. No issues with power even though it’s only rated for 5ft mower.

Nope, worked great while I had the car - I think it’s mainly picking out metal magnetically more than filtering but I’ve never cut one open to see what the filter media looks like

Don’t think so, I gave the manual away when I sold the car unfortunately

I'm having the same problem. Any luck?

I just ordered one off Amazon I’m pretty sure - good luck!

Sure, you can pick it up, but tractors (the ones I’m familiar with) aren’t weighted like a full time loader is to compensate. Trying to drive a tractor around with 1200 lbs stuck out 10 foot or so from center of mass of the tractor, and it’s going to be super tippy. Even with weighted tires. All about leverage. You need weight on the other end to compensate. Also, look at the axles of a tractor - rear is way bigger. You load up the front axle too much and I think you’re asking for trouble.

It was an 02

2000 to 2004 is the same thing , so whats the big deal !

@@Fixall7 ...We don't know they're the same, that's the 'big deal.

This is correct

Getting on and off of a tractor on the left side has always been the standard.

Good thought but I needed the extra room up top for a larger Boston butt or equivalent, and also to have room to put a temp sensor above the meat

I think she will like it, ours is great it's a stout little tractor. Get your rear tires loaded and you're set 👍

Haha, man funny but not funny, I feel ya. I sold mine about a year ago, steering rack went out on me and I’d had enough.

I want to say right around $19,200 for it, something like that. That was in 2018 dollars.

Sweet, I’ll check that out actually, I usually just stick mine in the bucket but I won’t say I’ve never forgotten it was there and dumped it out. Holder sounds like a better idea :)

I don’t have the car anymore but it’s just a generic inline power steering filter from what I recall

I bought mine 2 yrs ago and it was a last year model. It was 18k.

Silent Joy thanks! I’ll work on some more details, sure!

@@dailejc I'd love to duplicate that setup, Im geeky enough for it! Either that or start a full KickStarter for the ultimate smoker that connects to your phone! :-D

Rick Polson yep, I’ll video it soon, I’m getting ready to prep garlic beds for fall and I’ll do another one!

bombidude made em out of the LEGO lookin spongy interlocking floor mat things. Sorry I don’t know the technical name :)

Leatt46 I mean yeah, there’s a cost baked into 0 APR for sure, but it’s still 0 APR. Best would be save up the money and pay cash, but it’d have taken me 5 or more years to do that. That would be time without the use of the tractor (can look at that as cost - having to hire/rent for all the road work and things a tractor is used for, which ain’t cheap), and not counting inflation in the cost of the tractor over that 5 years. There is a cost associated with that too. So yep, agree there is markup for 0% but I still say it’s worth it to be able to have the tractor now vs later :)

0% financing never happens?... Well I asked for the cash price and they gave me one and then they offered 60 months 0% and they just divided the sales price by 60, so...

@@josemsolis7167 I've been pricing Kubota L series tractors at dealers all over the place. I'm planning on buying cash but I've been asking for cash price and finance price with each quote. It varies on the models but the cash price is always $500 - $1400 cheaper. On top of that when you finance you get charged a $250 or more "doc fee". On top of that if you finance you have to buy KTAC insurance through Kubota which costs about $20/month which comes out to $1680 for 84 months or $1200 for 60 months. At a minimum you're looking at an extra $2000 added to the price if you finance for 60 months with the potential for up to $3300 more added to the price depending on which L series you buy and how long you finance so the devil is in the details. For that reason the answer is 0% financing never happens. That's why I'm paying cash and I'm considering an L2501 or one of the bigger standard L's.

Andrew Burress well, I’d say I have steep hills too, but I think it handles em fine - I run a 6ft finish mower which I’m gonna take a stab and say is harder on the tractor than a bush hog (and technically is a foot bigger that what’s recommended for the L). Yeah it whines up the hills and I may slow down some but it’s not really a problem, I think the extra displacement gives enough torque to handle hills fine. That said I don’t have anything to compare to, so I can’t say what more HP would feel like I just know I don’t need to go any faster than I do already.

HighTech Farm curious where you live. I am looking at the L2501 HST and need to be able to box blade up my gravel drive and snow plus up it. Love the idea of no DPF filter on the engine but want to make sure I have enough power. Just sold my B2601 with the 25 horse engine but the L2501 has a bigger cubic inch 25 horse!
